When the Bluejay Fleet entered the Mazepan System, the soldiers were fully prepared to fend off any ambush that may have been able to predict their arrival coordinates.
Fortunately, the warships and carriers did not encounter any mines or missiles volleys a few seconds after they arrived.
This gave them enough time to fully charge up their energy shields and deploy their mechs on an emergency basis.
"Initiate Plan A-13! Activate the secondary superdrives and enter into FTL travel on my mark!"
Not every starship in the expanded fleet possessed a second superdrive. First-class superdrives tended to be very expensive in terms of phasewater and exotics, but they were powerful enough to overcome weak to moderate forms of interdiction depending on their exact specifications.
The Red Association and the Red Fleet rarely skimped on this priority, but other organizations such as the Gaia Coven and the Devos Ancient Clan were less extravagant in this aspect.
